I don't really remember Angie. Try just putting some lotion on it and see if that helps.

In almost every way I would agree with you but because of my job I have come to realize that yes, there are some stupid questions but I'm happy that here there is no such a thing as a stupid question

Get a real thick lotion...it will stay on better and keep you from itching longer. (if you have it you may want to try some massage oil too)

I know that this might not help you now, but I heard from many different people to start rubbing lotion on your belly every night to reduce strch marks. The one that I have seen at the store for strech marks are the ones that have cocoa butter. I just went to walmart and bought a big one.

Apply thick layers and wear something you don't care about. It will stop the itch. Over time they will stop and you won't have to do it.

Yep, I always itched way more AFTER birth than when my skin was actually stretching. I like the Belly Butter by Palmer's. It comes in a tub. Doesn't do a thing for the actual marks, but it does WONDERS for itchy skin!

I really have bad itchy skin every winter, and especially while pregnant and the one lotion that I found that helped was Aveno. Almost any form of aveno, but there is one for dry and itchy skin. I love it, plus they have an oatmeal bath that is great for taking away the itchiness. I hope you find something that works wonders for you!!

Oh and I love your new siggy!! Madison is just beautiful!
